How do I not lose?
Commander (EDH) forum

I'm considering building a new deck with Phage the Untouchable as the commander. I know that Sundial of the Infinite, Platinum Angel, and Torpor Orb are ways to prevent her from killing me- are there any other things I should be looking for to keep me alive when I cast her?

A sac outlet in response to the ability to trigger Endless Whispers can win you the game.

Boza, well, sure, but that's no fun! ;)
M a g i c a l H a c k e r, ooooooohhhh. I like it. As long as it's my last opponent, that's perfect.

Counters aren't what I'm looking for (excepting Stifle-type abilities]. I still want her to resolve so that I can kill my opponents. I'm just trying to avoid the pre-killing-them killing-of-me. Although I suppose if I could counter her, then reanimate her on an opponent's board... Is there a way to do that, other than Endless Whispers?

Here is a Phage to so look at and see in action here.
It holds most of ways to stop you from dying, and it shows how it functions. Hope this helps.

Shroud or hexproof you don't want anyone stealing your commander. Also sac outlets in cast of Mob Rule or Insurrection type spells. It would certainly suck to loose to your own commander.

Not actually casting her is the best option you have.
Countering her will work. Nether Void, Withering Boon, Dash Hopes. That is about it.
SHe is way better in the 99 than as a commander.
